This Learning Plan consists of 10 foundational courses specifically grouped together for the Electric Power Maintenance Worker. The courses cover subjects and topics that are essential for every level of learner. From Electrical Safety to Personal Protective Equipment, to Troubleshooting Electrical Control Circuits, Electrical Shock and Arc Flash Safety, to Hazardous Waste Safety, to Lockout/Tagout to the heart of the power system (the Transformer) Electrical & Mechanical Maintenance and the Function of Insulating Liquids; these courses will teach and/or reinforce foundational electrical power maintenance principles to make a safer, well trained technician.
Included Courses
4 Functions of Insulating Liquids is the first of a 3-part series in the Insulating Liquids Session of Transformer Management 1. This course covers the importance the Insulating Liquid plays in extending the reliable life of the Transformer.
Mechanical Maintenance is the first in a 5- part series in the Applied Transformer Maintenance Section of Transformer Management 1. This course will cover the importance of maintaining the mechanical parts of the transformer.
Electrical Maintenance is the second in a 5- part series in the Applied Transformer Maintenance Section of Transformer Management 1. This course will cover the importance of maintaining the electrical parts of the transformer.
This course addresses electrical safety requirements to safeguard employees and contractors who work near exposed energized parts, electrical equipment, and wiring in hazardous locations. This training is designed to help protect persons exposed to dangers such as electric shock, electrocution, fires, and explosions.
This course presents an overview of Hazardous Waste safety guidelines set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Topics include recognizing and identifying hazardous wastes, minimizing exposure to hazardous wastes, implementing safety and health programs, and completing required training.
This course presents an overview of measures to reduce hazards presented by arc flash events. It will cover basic electrical concepts, circumstances that can present the risk of arc flashes, electrical industry safety standards, and hazard control measures when work responsibilities cause you to work on or near equipment at risk for arc flash. Because of the nature of arc flash events, we will review the regulations for both electrical and fire safety.
This General Industry online training course covers the OSHA Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) standard. This course is targeted to employees of organizations that work around energized machines or equipment. No prerequisite knowledge is required.
This lesson presents a basic procedure for troubleshooting electrical control circuits. The lesson shows and explains how to gather information about the symptoms, how to verify the symptoms, and how to use the schematic diagram to locate the cause of the problem. The lesson also shows how to perform continuity checks on the circuit and replace any defective components.
This is the third lesson in the Electrical Safety Library. This lesson describes the effects electrical current has on the human body. Proper methods of removing a victim from an energized circuit are discussed. Who is “qualified” to perform a particular task and alerting techniques are introduced.
This is the eighth lesson in the Electrical Safety Library. This lesson presents information about safeguards, other than Personal Protective Equipment worn on the body, used when working with or around electricity. Inspection, repair, and care of general protective equipment, and proper used of this equipment are presented.
